Cutback bitumen is also known as tack coat or prime coat asphalt due to its application in binding layers of roads. In addition, it’s widely used in cold mix asphalt, road repair, and pipeline coating.
Infinity Galaxy, a leading bitumen supplier in the UAE, brings years of experience to export high-quality bitumen to many countries. Our cutback bitumen is available in three types: Slow-Curing (SC), Medium-Curing (MC), and Rapid-Curing (RC).
On this page, you’ll find everything you need to know about purchasing cutback bitumen from Infinity Galaxy.
Cutback Bitumen Price
Cutback bitumen prices are affected by several factors, including:
- International crude oil prices
- Type and price of solvents
- Shipping and transportation costs
Cut back bitumen price rises by increasing the amount of solvent in different grades, which leads to an decrease in its viscosity. For example, MC 30 bitumen price typically is more than MC 70 due to its higher solvent concentration.
Also, seasonal demand has a direct impact on the solvent price that is used in cutback bitumen production. For example, kerosene, a petroleum based component in MC bitumen, sees increased demand for heating purposes during the winter. This higher demand raises its price, which affects the overall price of MC bitumen.
Check the price of MC bitumen grades in the below table:
| MC Bitumen Prices (USD/MT) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade/Port | MC 30 | MC 70 | MC 250 |
| Jebel Ali | 638 ± 5$ | 628 ± 5$ | 618 ± 5$ |
| Mombasa | 725 ± 5$ | 654 ± 5$ | 705 ± 5$ |
